Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy – Encounter Program

Encountering anthroposophy can be challenging.

Envigorate your experience by exploring it with others.

This program meets every Saturday throughout the school year and gives you an in-depth experience through lectures, discussions, and artistic activities. The Encounter program encourages you to grow in knowledge and understanding with others as you work with a well-qualified and diverse faculty.

You will:

Explore a systematic path through the basic ideas of anthroposophy.
Learn through artistic activities: eurythmy, painting, clay, and drawing.
Enjoy the satisfaction of meeting fellow students and exploring new ideas with them.
Study the rhythms and meaning in your own biography and destiny.
See anthroposophy in action at a Waldorf school and a biodynamic farm.
Develop a sense for the spiritual reality that points to meaning and purpose in our complex world.
